How it works

Set it up once. It runs itself.

Mizan uses the SMS alerts you already receive. An iPhone Shortcut forwards each one the moment it arrives.

  1. 01

    Your bank sends an alert

    The same SMS you get for every card payment, transfer and salary.

    PKR 25,000.00 transferred to ALI RAZA via IBFT. Ref 88213
  2. 02

    A Shortcut forwards it

    A one-time iPhone automation sends bank alerts to your own Mizan. OTPs and promos are ignored.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Does Mizan need my bank username or password?

No. Mizan only reads the SMS alerts you choose to forward with an iPhone Shortcut. It never connects to your bank.

Which banks does it work with?

It is tuned for Pakistani banks such as MCB and UBL and for PKR amounts. You can teach it any other bank by pasting one example alert.

Does it work on Android?

Automatic import uses iPhone Shortcuts, so it is built for iPhone. On other phones you can still open Mizan in the browser and add payments by hand.

How does the Zakat calculation work?

Mizan compares your bank balance and other savings with the gold or silver nisab using live metal prices and works out 2.5% if Zakat is due. It is a guide, not a fatwa, so ask a scholar you trust about unusual cases.

What does it cost?

Self-hosting is free. Mizan runs on the free tiers of Vercel and Neon. A hosted version is planned; join the beta list to hear first.

What if an SMS is unclear?

Mizan never guesses. Reversals, pending payments, foreign currency or unknown wording wait in the review inbox for you to confirm.
